Moth Borers - how are we going to manage them when they arrive?

Moth borers are medium to large moths that eat through sugarcane as caterpillars, reducing yields by up to 20%. To prepare for a potential incursion, this project is investigating the feasibility of using soil-applied systemic insecticides to manage moth borers.

Dairy BIO Forage Project 2a - Foliar Insect Bioassays

The DairyBio Forage program focuses on three key areas of pasture performance - yield, persistence and quality. Quality of pastures will increase through new breeding technologies like this project, that aim to breed high digestibility ryegrasses through genomic selection and hybrids, and making more energy available in the forages.
